摘要： System and method for modeling a nonlinear process. A combined model for predictive optimization or control of a nonlinear process includes a nonlinear approximator, coupled to a parameterized dynamic or static model, operable to model the nonlinear process. The nonlinear approximator receives process inputs, and generates parameters for the parameterized dynamic model. The parameterized dynamic model receives the parameters and process inputs, and generates predicted process outputs based on the parameters and process inputs, where the predicted process outputs are useable to analyze and/or control the nonlinear process. The combined model may be trained in an integrated manner, e.g., substantially concurrently, by identifying process inputs and outputs (I/O), collecting data for process I/O, determining constraints on model behavior from prior knowledge, formulating an optimization problem, executing an optimization algorithm to determine model parameters subject to the determined constraints, and verifying the compliance of the model with the constraints.

摘要： The present invention provides a method for controlling nonlinear control problems within particle accelerators. This method involves first utilizing software tools to identify variable inputs and controlled variables associated with the particle accelerator, wherein at least one variable input parameter is a controlled variable. This software tool is further operable to determine relationships between the variable inputs and controlled variables. A control system that provides variable inputs to and acts on controller outputs from the software tools tunes one or more manipulated variables to achieve a desired controlled variable, which in the case of a particle accelerator may be realized as a more efficient collision.

摘要： A method for modeling a steady-state network in the absence of steady-state historical data. A steady-state neural network can be tied by impressing the dynamics of the system onto the input data during the training operation by first determining the dynamics in a local region of the input space, this providing a set of dynamic training data. This dynamic training data is then utilized to train a dynamic model, gain thereof then set equal to unity such that the dynamic model is now valid over the entire input space. This is a linear model, and the historical data over the entire input space is then processed through this model prior to input to the neural network during training thereof to remove the dynamic component from the data, leaving the steady-state component for the purpose of training. This provides a valid model in the presence of historical data that has a large content of dynamic behavior. A single dynamic model is required for each output variable in a multi-input multi-output steady-state model such that for each output there is a separate dynamic model required for pre-filtering. They are combined in a single network made up of multiple individual steady-state models for each output. The dynamic model can be identified utilizing a weighting factor for the gain to force the dynamic gain of the dynamic model to the steady-state gain by weighting the difference thereof during optimization of the dynamic model. The steady-state model is optimized utilizing gain constraints during the optimization procedure such that the gain of the network is prevented from exceeding the gain constraints.

摘要翻译： 在没有稳态历史数据的情况下建模稳态网络的方法。 稳态神经网络可以通过在训练操作期间通过首先确定输入空间的局部区域中的动力学来将系统的动力学压印到输入数据上，从而提供一组动态训练数据。 然后利用该动态训练数据来训练动态模型，然后将其增益设置为等于1，使动态模型现在在整个输入空间上有效。 这是一个线性模型，然后在整个输入空间中的历史数据在通过该模型输入到神经网络之前通过该模型进行处理，以在训练期间从数据中移除动态分量，将稳态分量留在目的 训练。 这在存在具有大量动态行为的历史数据的情况下提供了有效的模型。 在多输入多输出稳态模型中，每个输出变量都需要单个动态模型，因此对于每个输出，都需要一个单独的动态模型来进行预滤波。 它们组合在由每个输出的多个单独稳态模型组成的单个网络中。 可以利用增益的加权因子来识别动态模型，以通过在动态模型的优化期间加权其差异来将动态模型的动态增益强制为稳态增益。 在优化过程中利用增益约束优化稳态模型，使得网络的增益被阻止超过增益约束。

摘要： A dispenser for dispensing a substance, such as a pharmaceutical, ophthalmic, dermatological, cosmeceutical, cosmetic or other product, has a body defining a variable-volume storage chamber for storing the product. A dispensing portion of the dispenser is connected with the body and defines a bore coupled in fluid communication with the storage chamber for receiving substance therefrom, and an outlet aperture coupled in fluid communication with the bore. A one-way valve of the dispenser includes an axially-extending valve seat and an axially-extending flexible valve cover seated on the valve seat and defining a normally-closed, axially-extending seam therebetween forming a fluid-tight seal between the valve cover and valve seat. The flexible valve cover is movable relative to the valve seat and the seam is connectable in fluid communication with the outlet aperture to allow the passage of substance through the seam and out of the dispenser. The dispenser further comprises an actuator and piston assembly including a piston receivable within the bore, a manually-engageable actuator connected to the piston for moving the piston between first and second positions relative to the bore to dispense substance within the bore through the outlet aperture, and an integral, dome-shaped spring coupled to at least one of the piston and the actuator for biasing the piston in a direction from one of the first and second positions toward the other.
